He also retired as a recluse once it was known he had his hands in the money.

I'm not gonna provide evidence for this but give it a google.

lol TBH Dojj i never really take too much care of the budget, as there nothing you can do about it. Better just to get on with things than worry about how much debt the uk is in etc! Folk need to get a life if they are bothered about how much debt we are in, FFS go to the pub!
